Father's Day gift guide
By Pam Carroll on 25 August 2009
Let someone else buy the socks and jocks for dad this Father's Day. If you really want to win "favourite child" status, go for a tech present — there's plenty of great gear to choose from this year.
For something completely new, why not buy him a digital radio? DAB+ broadcasts officially launched nationwide earlier this month, and with its clearer signals and text scrolling, what's not to love? Of course, dad needs a new digital radio to tune in, which is where you and our CNET Best DAB+ digital radios round-up comes in.
If a radio is not the go, we've also rounded up the hottest phones, cameras, laptops and GPS devices that have the most appeal to dad. There's something for everyone in each round-up, whether your father is a geek personified or can't find the On switch.
